W&M offers new marine science minor

Partnered with VIMS, the College is now offering a new minor in marine science.

Faculty in the School of Marine Science at VIMS have previously offered courses primarily to graduate students, having awarded more than 800 Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in marine science since 1943.

VIMS Dean and Director John Wells says the minor represents “an exciting new chapter in VIMS’ long history of providing an exemplary education in marine science, and will help satisfy the growing national demand for qualified marine-science professionals.”
